EMC Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix Contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative for updates or information not included in this document. EMC maintains a large collection of the products as well as third-party application software for qualification with EMC backup and recovery systems and to simulate customer environments, but you must consult the vendors for information about their systems. Policy for future qualification of software releases The information in this document is maintained by EMC, and EMC strives to update this document with new releases of hardware, operating systems, firmware, BIOS, applications, and so on, as they become available from the vendors. EMC works with the vendors during their development and release processes in order to be fully informed at the time the vendors release new versions. EMC does not announce qualification prior to vendors’ general availability; in these cases and in cases where advance preparation is not possible, EMC may test and qualify vendors’ products as appropriate after they have been released. For early support of such products including vendor beta participation, contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative. Policy for end-of-life support EMC strives to continue support for any installed platforms, but may remove support from this matrix for new installations within three months after the vendor has announced that this platform has reached the end of life. EMC will continue support for existing installations of hardware, operating systems, and components that the vendor has officially declared to have reached end of life as long as support is available from the vendor.
